Starch is a complex carbohydrate in plants' roots, tubers, and seeds. Starches are the most important food source of carbohydrates; they get broken down into glucose (sugar) to give the body energy.

It is stored up in the seeds, roots and pith of plants, and by its decomposition affords the materials for the most essential vegetable products. Starch, from whatever source, always presents the ...
